Woman Killed In Serious Accident In West Windsor: Police

WEST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — An 18-year-old woman was killed in a one-car accident crash on Route 571 Sunday morning, West Windsor police announced. The woman has not been identified.

A 2006 Toyota Scion was traveling west on Princeton-Hightstown Road (Route 571) at about 8 a.m. Sunday when it spun out of control, police said. The driver, who was the only person in the car, apparently lost control when she reached a curved section of the road just past the Southfield Center.

The car spun out of control, left the road and struck a tree, police said. The car was split into two pieces and the driver was pronounced dead on the scene. Police said the road was wet at the time of the crash, but also that the woman was speeding when she lost control of her car.

Route 571 was closed in both directions between Rabbit Hill and Southfield for about three hours. The accident is being investigated by the West Windsor Township Police Department and the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office.

Anyone who may have seen this accident or has information is asked to contact West Windsor Ptl. Brown at 609-799-1222 or Brown@westwindsorpolice.com.
